Speaker 1: Hey there, it's Michael here and welcome back to another
Happy English Saturday short your quick tip for speaking English
better today, let's look at too really common and supernatural
phrases you'll hear in everyday English. You know what and
guess what. We use both of these when we want
to grab someone's attention, usually before we share some news,
an idea, or an opinion. They make your speech sound
lively and conversational, and they're kind of like how we say, hey,
listen to this, like you know what, I think I'm
finally getting used to this cool weather, or you know what,
I've decided to start going to the gym again. And
guess what. Is even more playful, We use guess what
when we're excited to share news or something surprising, like
guess what I passed my driving test or guess what
my favorite band is coming to Japan. When you use
you know what or guess what, your tone matters. Both
phrases sound best with energy and arising intonation. It builds
a little excitement before you say your news, So remember
you know what and guess what are great for starting
a story, sharing news or giving an opinion in a fun,
natural way, and you know what. I think you're going
to sound even more fluent when you start using these
in your conversations. Oh and don't forget to follow or
